Should Women Wait to Have Children?

That's the question at hand.

This week, The New York Times is debating the topic and it's titled, "Should Women Delay Motherhood?" There are several responses for the pro side and for the con side, and yours truly had the opportunity to weigh in.

Here's my two-cents:

I was 23 years old when I found myself sitting on the bathroom toilet
starring down at a positive pregnancy test. It was 2006. I had just
graduated from Columbia University and had plans to go to grad school
and begin a career in education.

I did not have plans to become a mother, certainly not at that young
age. I wanted to work hard, have fun with my friends, travel and embrace
spontaneity.
